Finally happened, ebola is here...

Maybe he just had some bad sushi?

Six pages and not a single mention of bushmeat?

Ask yourself: who says the American reporter did not come back to the US carrying Ebola?

[Rotorocious]

I remember posting that in a other ebola thread.

Vice did an excellent job on their reporting. They get to a lot of stories before the main stream ones do.

Read the Bloomberg article. The government, red tape, lack of oversight etc. made ZMAPP, a drug made by a San Diego, CA company an afterthought. Government contracts go as far back as 2005. By 2010, it was ready for human clinical trials but they didn't have the funding to do so. They could have stockpiled it for use that now seems crucial since it hit home. Sad because the government funding was there from the beginning.

It's not tin-foil hat thinking to have a distrust of government and big corporations.

Oh I agree.

So how many confirmed cases of death by Ebola in the states now? I think Ricola had more related deaths. Don't get your panties all up in a bunch.

We would have to ban every, single inbound international flight for it to work. What happens if a man from Liberia who is infected, but asymptomatic, flies from Liberia to the UK...hangs out for a weekend, and then comes to the states?





The Ebola River is a place in Africa, lol.

Go back to E46fanatics.

This article is opinion, but relevant to the thread:

"Past U.S. presidents have exercised their constitutional authority to institute travel bans whenever American lives were in jeopardy. Indeed, so has President Obama. In July, all flights to Israel were temporarily prohibited because the escalating violence threatened the safety of our citizens traveling there. A similar ban to Lebanon was imposed after the 1985 hijacking of a TWA jetliner to Beirut. The tragic events of 9-11 also prompted severe travel restrictions to protect national security.

A comparable health-related ban occurred at the height of the AIDS epidemic. President Reagan imposed a prohibition on HIV-positive foreigners. Years later, President Clinton signed into law a bill that codified the ban. Thus, there is ample legal precedent."

Spanish Nurse Is First Person to Contract Ebola Outside of Africa



A nurse in Spain has become the first person to contract Ebola outside of West Africa in the latest epidemic, authorities said on Monday.

The woman, who was described as a "sanitary tech," last month treated a priest in Madrid who later died of Ebola after contracting the virus while doing missionary work in Sierra Leone.

The elderly priest, Manuel Garcia Viejo, was treated in Madrid's Carlos III hospital, where he had been in quarantine since his return from Africa. He died on Sept. 25. The nurse entered the priest's room twice: Once to treat him and once upon his death, to recover his belongings, officials said. She began showing signs of illness on Sept. 30 and sought treatment, they said.

Health authorities said the nurse earlier had also helped treat another priest, Miguel Pajares, 75, who had been working in Liberia when he was afflicted with Ebola. He was airlifted back to Spain on Aug. 7 and died five days later.

"We are working to verify the exact source of contact to see if all strict protocols were followed," Spanish Health Minister Ana Mato said at a news conference on Monday.

Thirty health-care workers who came into contact with the nurse will now be under observation for 21 days, Spanish health officials said. They are also working to compile a list of people the unnamed nurse may have interacted with outside of the hospital.

Six people have been treated for Ebola in the United States, and one developed symptoms in America, but each first came into contact with the virus while in West Africa.
